Short intro chapter is short! This is going to have multiple chapters, so stay tuned.
Atoms.
They connect everything.
The atoms in a human body create synapse that run from cell to cell, like wise in computers they run synapse from circuit to circuit. From there, the similarities grew vaguer. One could argue that circuits were like cells and made up the larger "organs" of a computer, but if you took it any further people would start asking what you had taken and how much you spent on those drugs.
But whatever they said, you still found similarities between computers and humans. Anything and everything reflects how a cell works. The coincidences were scary to you, really. We were reflecting their processes far before we had even discovered how cells really worked.
So…
If Computers could reflect a human…
Could you make a person out of a computer?
Your name is Sollux Captor, and you are determined to combine computer programming with human psychology.
